## Summary

A black bear ran across a busy access road beside Interstate 75 in Naples, Florida, startling motorists and drawing attention to encounters between wildlife and expanding suburbs. The sighting matters because development around the Everglades can bring people and animals into closer contact, creating risks for both.

The video appeared over the weekend in a metropolitan area of about 400,000 people. The article suggests the bear may have wandered from nearby habitat, but its whereabouts and whether anyone was injured were not confirmed; it says it hoped the bear returned safely to the Everglades.
